On-line spectroscopic study of brominated flame retardant extraction in supercritical CO₂ by Xia, Dong, Maurice, Ange, Leybros, Antoine, Lee, Jong-Min, Grandjean, Agnes, Gabriel, Jean-Christophe P.

“…Mathematical models derived from irreversible desorption and Fick's diffusion laws fitted well with the observed extraction kinetics of BFRs, thus enabling us to identify the rate-determining step. The high solubilization rate coefficients that we measured for BFRs revealed that the dynamic extraction process in up-scaling design could compensate for the low solubility with flowing supercritical CO2.…”
